The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2261

Cole seemed to be interested when he heard this and tilted his head to look at me. "How could you tell?"

I would not have made that up if I knew.

Did he need an answer to everything?

I filtered through my mind and fixed on a scene from our first meeting. "It’s like when I met you for the first time. You put on a whole play, which was unexpected. I could tell from that."

Cole laughed heartily after I said that.

He clapped his hands. "I didn't expect you to be someone who holds grudges, President Lane." I only wanted to answer him and did not expect him to continue. "Coincidentally, I’m that sort too."

Could there be some deep meaning in these words?

Cole continued before I had time to think about it, "How did it go yesterday? Did you succeed?"

He was eager to know the outcome of yesterday. That was why he came early in the morning. He probably wanted to ask me about it.

Thinking of this, I answered him softly, "Well, it worked. Carlson and Yvonne were shocked when they heard the name Millicent Yard, and they agreed to Tyler's marriage after that."

After I said that, I saw Cole spread out his hands as if he had been confident about this.

"What do you think? Wasn’t my method the best?”

"How did you know that, Mr. Anders? Do you know Carlson and Yvonne?" I asked cautiously.

Cole looked at me, his lips pursed as he smiled gently. "I’ve only heard about them. I’ve never met them.”

"Yes. I had free time, so I came out for a walk," Cole responded calmly.

"You sure are leisurely, Mr. Anders, but I'm different. There are still a lot of things for me to deal with. If nothing else, why not..."

"So you’re driving me away, President Lane." Cole smiled without a trace of anger. "Alright, it’ll start looking like I'm one who doesn't appreciate favors if I were to stay any longer. Let me ask you something, President Lane. Before I leave, do you have any questions for me?"

His eyes were so deep that I could not see the end of them. I fell into the abyss that was his eyes and smiled slightly. "To be honest, I have a lot of questions, but as you said, Mr. Anders, you’ll tell me when the time comes. So, why should I ask?"

"You really are a smart person, President Lane. I like to deal with smart people. That's fine. No need to send me off. I’ll see you next time." Cole walked out of the meeting room after that.

Seeing his departing silhouette, my suspended heart eased.

I did not understand why it always felt like I was carrying a heavy burden when I was interacting with him…
